I'm at the entry gate of The Fantasy Kingdom of Normal People
( there's no such place ! )
Letting down or lifting the drawbridge
Telling people "you can go in,
But only if you tell my people how beautiful it is out there"

Yes, there are wolves and there are bears
And if you come knocking on FKNP's door crying "water,water"
It is because a bear was at your pond
And you are tired running

But do remind them of this simple pleasure of running bare feet in the grass mowed by rabbits
Remind them that they have feet
And when you're better
Walk them out
Hold hands and dare to be scarier than the bear
Reclaim your pond
And share with them
your
crystal water
